This invention relates to garment clips or My invention contemplates the provision of a simple and efficient holder designed to hingedly carry asuitable ornament in such a manner that the ornament may be utilized to hold the ends of a scarf against flying about, and further designed to be readily attached to and detached from any part of the outer garment of the I wearer so as to arrange the scarf in any desired I. position. f

My invention further contemplates the provision of a'scarf holder adapted for ready attachment to and removal from any desired part of a dress, coat or other outer garment, and carrying a pair of opposed ornaments in such positions that the ornaments may be used to hold the end portions of a scarf or the like about the neck of the wearer.

My invention further contemplates the provision of a simple and comparatively inexpensive holder having an ornamental function, combined with a scarf-holding function, and adapted to be readily attached to and detached from a convenient point of a garment, and after attachment being adapted for easy manipulation to hold the scarf in place.

The various objects of the invention will be clear from the description which follows and from the drawing, in which,

Fig. 1 is aperspective View of my improved .scarf holder as it appears attached to a garment end part of the same.

Fig. 4 is a similar view of one end of the frame portion of the holder, showing a modified form thereof in which the frame is made of a single piece of sheet material.

Fig. 5 is a vertical section of the same taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 4.

Fig. 6 is a fragmentary horizontal section of the other end part of the frame portion of the holder, showing particularly the integral lugs for :holding the pointed end of the pin in place.

In the practical embodiment of my invention, which I have shown by way 'ofexample, my new holder consists of a frame member designated generally by the numeral iii, a hinged pointed pin H carried at the back of the frame member, and a pair of spaced combined ornament and scarf holding members l2 and i3 hinged to the front of the frame member ID.

As shown particularly in Figs. 2 and 3, the frame member It comprises the elongated and comparatively narrow and thin body portion 14; made preferably of suitable bendable metal such as the white metal composition commonly used in clips, brooches and the like. Said portion [4 is preferably curved laterally to conform to the shape of a body portion ofthe wearer, such as the shoulder, breast, orany other point at which the wearer may desire to secure the holder.

The ornamentslZ and H! are preferably hing- 'edly mounted at the end parts of the member l and the adjacent inner ends thereof are pref erably in longitudinal spaced relation. Each of said ornaments may be made of any suitable material, preferably metal, and may be set with rhinestones or other ornamental genuine or imitation precious stones and/or may be otherwise suitably ornamented. It wil be understood that said ornaments may take a great variety of different forms and sizes and may if desired be such as can be purchased in the open market, but

in any case, I prefer to so mount said ornaments that the respective'end portions l5 and it thereof, may contact, when permitted to do so, with the outer face ll of the frame member l0, 'and to engage the scarf ends inserted therebetween and to hold said ends against disarrangement' or flying about.

Preferably, each of the ornaments is'mou'nted on an ornament holding member as 18, of suitable shape, preferably convex outwardly, and preferably of less length than the ornament and of approximately the same width and thickness as that of the frame portion M. The ornament 12 may be secured to the ornament holder In in any suitable manner, as by solder or other suitable fastening means.

The ornament carrying member 18 is pivotally mounted on the end part of the frame portion It, as by means of a pair of lugs 19 and 2!] extending from said member. Said lugs may form the depending parts of a U-shaped mem ber, which includes the cross bar 2! joining said lugs and secured to the inner face or to the end part of the member 18. Of if desired, said lugs l9 and 29 may be formed integrally with and bent from the end part of said member I8. The lugs I9 and 2B in any case, are perforated for the reception of the hinge pin 22 which passes through said lugsand also through the upstand ing perforated spaced lugs 23, 24!- 'of a suitable bracket 25 Said bracket soldered m otheranchored tothe lugs 20 and/or 24.

Since the ornament 13 is mounted on a holding member similarly hingedto the frame holding part M by means identical with that just described, the above description in connection with the ornament l2 applies equally well to the holding means for the ornament I3. It will be understood that if desired, one-of the ornaments and the holding means thereof maybe omitted, and a single ornament and holder of the pro-per sizeused instead of a pair of such ornaments.

As has been indicated, the means; for securing the holder to an article of apparel comprises the pin and suitable means for hinging the pin to the rear face ofthe frame member l4. Said hinging means may take any convenient form,

but as shown, the bracket 30 is provided with a base 3| preferably soldered to the rear face of the member l4, and is also provided with a pair of spaced outstanding perforated lugs 3|. The pin 32 passes through said lugs and through a suitable eye or loop 33 at the unpointed end of the pin whereby said pin is hingedly sup- #35. v 6 toward and from the frame member.

ported by the bracket for swinging movement The pointed end 34 of the pin is detachably 'held in place in a conventional manner as by means of the hook shaped bracket 35, preferably soldered to the portion l4 and provided with a rotatable catch 36 having a suitable opening or slot therein to permit the end 34 of the pin to be inserted transversely therethrough and into the bracket; and being rotatable to close the open side of the bracket and to fasten the pin in position after the pin has been passed through the article of apparel to attach the holder in place.

In that form of my invention shown in Figs. 4, 5, and 6, the frame member of the holder is made of a single piece of sheet material, the various holding lugs being integrally bent from the maiterial thereofp Referring now to Fig. 4,

the main body portion 40 of the frame member is similar to the portion 4, but at its ends is provided with the integral lugs 4| and 42 bent at right angles to and outstanding forwardly from the body portion 40. The lugs 4| and 42 V are perforated as at 43, 44 similarly to the lugs 23 and 24, and receive a similar hinge pin on whichare mounted thelugs projecting from theornament holder [8.

For the separate bracket 30, may be substituted the pair of spaced parallel integral lugs 45, 46 (Figs. 4 and 5) bent from the material of thebody portion 40. Said lugs are separated from said material by means of suitably shaped cuts 41, 48. The lugs 45 and 46 are perforated for the reception of the hinge pin 49 about which the loop 50, at one end of the attaching pin II, is bent. It will be understood that said pin is rotatable about the hinge pin 49 into and out of its operative postion.

Similarly near the other end of the body portion 40, a pair of lugs as 5|,-52 are struck inwardly from the material of the body portion, said lugs being provided with a side opening or slot 53 for the entrance of the pointed end 34 of the pin A suitable rotatable catch as 54 is arranged between lugs 5| and 52 to detachably hold the pointed end 34 in place.

In operation, the scarf holder is preferably first attached at the desired point of the gar-' ment by removing the pointed end 34 of the pin from thebracket 35 orxfrom the lugs 5|, 52, opening the pin about its hinge and then passing the pin through the article of apparel after which the pointed end is re-engaged with its catch, thereby securing the holder to the garment. The hands of the wearer are now free to openthe ornament to the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2 so that the end portions frame portion I4 and prevents the scarf from leaving the spacefifl. The ornament'l3 maybe similarly manipulated to hold the other end part of the scarf in the space 6|.

It will be understood that since my improved scarf holder may be attached to any desired of the scarf may be arranged behindthe ornapoint of the upper part of a garment, it becomes possible to arrange a scarf about the neck of a. wearer in a variety of different ways to suit the taste and desires. of the wearer,

It will also be seen that my new holder may be quickly and easily attached in place and" provides an efficient ornamental securing 1 means for a scarf, and because of its simplicity maybe manufactured at comparatively, low' cost. 7
